When a press release opens with the bold claim that a track is a “one-and-done” — the kind that locks you in on first listen and loops in your head long after the speakers fall silent — expectations are instantly raised. But in the case of “Haunt Me”, that confidence feels fully justified.
With this latest release on Black Hole Recordings, Solarstone and Susie Ledge deliver a Vocal Trance record that thrives not on spectacle, but on emotional precision.
For the first time in his career, Rich Mowatt — the man behind Solarstone — follows up a single with the same vocalist, after December’s “star” (drawn from his 2025 “innermost” sessions). As highlighted in the official press material, it’s clear he knew he had found something special in Susie Ledge. That chemistry carries straight into “Haunt Me.”
Susie Ledge’s songwriting explores the lingering imprint of love on memory — where physical absence is eclipsed by emotional proximity. Through echo-laden metaphors, she captures the quiet intensity of missing someone, turning separation into something almost tangible. It’s reflective, intimate, and haunting in exactly the way the title promises.
At 136 BPM, “Haunt Me” sits firmly in uplifting territory, yet Solarstone resists the temptation to overload the arrangement. The press release describes the production as “compelling but disciplined” — striking percussion and purposeful bass drive the energy forward, while the riffs remain measured, never overpowering Susie’s vocal lead. Rather than relying on oversized drops or dramatic theatrics, Solarstone walks the line between understatement and ascendance, keeping the emotion front and centre. It’s a reminder that subtlety can still move dancefloor mountains.
Few artists have defended the core ethos of trance as passionately as Solarstone. As the founder of the Pure Trance movement and a long-standing ambassador of melodic depth over hype, he continues to refine his sound without compromising its emotional DNA. Releases on Black Hole Recordings underline that commitment to timeless craftsmanship.
Susie Ledge’s return here feels less like a collaboration and more like a continuation. Her tone is warm but cutting, delicate yet confident — the kind of vocal presence that doesn’t just sit on a track but becomes inseparable from it. If “star” introduced the partnership, “Haunt Me” cements it.
In an era when many productions chase bigger, louder formulas, “Haunt Me” proves that emotional depth and thoughtful arrangement still resonate most. This isn’t trance for spectacle. It’s trance for feeling.
